This really isn't a problem of the IETF. The problems is at the ISP's
who should charge for bandwidth usage and not for IP's.
It is all a financial problem, people earn money this way, and there is
not an easy way you can let them not make money.
Actually, can you blame them? I can't unfortunately...
Arguably, if the ISPs handed out a (static) IP to every customer,
soon they'd be out of IPs, and thus unable to grow their businesses
from that perspective.
